Reviews

[Stan Sorensen · Rating 4 out of 5]

A helpful little book. It was a bit mystical at some points, especially at the beginning, but got better in the second half. Some Scripture was stretched to some questionable interpretations. For example, a certain Greek preposition was made to carry a meaning not really intended. I can still hear my NT Greek Prof saying, "base your theology on nouns, verbs, and clauses, not on prepositions or particles."

There were many good points made in this book. I liked the emphasis on focusing our time with Christ on Him and seeing His glory, not ourselves. I really enjoyed the section where Freeman talks about how the Christian life is a supplied life.
As another reviewer said, however, often Scripture passages were stretched to mean things I don’t really think they were supposed to mean. The language Freeman uses to describe the love between the Father, the Son, and us (their “love-life,” he calls it) was also a bit off-putting.
This was valuable book in some aspects, but I would also take a lot of what he says with a grain of salt. Take the valuable/true parts from it and leave the rest.
